Sinossi
Orfana e sola, costretta ad abbandonare il suo villaggio, Vasja dovrà rassegnarsi a trascorrere la vita in un convento o a permettere alla sorella maggiore di darla in sposa a un principe moscovita. Entrambe le strade la condannano a una vita in una torre, tagliata fuori dal vasto mondo che invece desidera esplorare. Così sceglie una terza via: travestendosi da ragazzo cavalca attraverso il bosco per sfuggire a un destino che altri hanno scritto per lei. A Mosca, intanto, la corte imperiale è scossa da lotte di potere e tumulti. Nelle campagne alcuni banditi razziano i campi, bruciano i villaggi e rapiscono le fanciulle. Dopo essere partiti per sconfiggere i briganti, il Gran principe e i suoi boiardi si imbattono in un giovane uomo in groppa a un magnifico destriero. Solo Sasa, un monaco guerriero, capisce che il "ragazzo" altri non è che sua sorella, creduta morta dopo la fuga dal suo villaggio in seguito all'accusa di stregoneria. Ma quando Vasja dà prova del suo valore in battaglia, cavalcando con una destrezza eccezionale e con un'inspiegabile forza, Sasa realizza che dovrà a tutti i costi mantenere il segreto della sua vera identità, per salvare la vita dell'unica persona in grado di fronteggiare le forze oscure che minacciano di distruggere l'impero...
